WriteWorld Challenges

When I’m stuck or feeling morose, I like to take up writing challenges from writeworld, a wonderful website that frequently posts random images and quotes for inspiration. My personal challenge is always to finish one before I start another, which may well contribute to the decline in quality towards the end, but does help with the self-discipline!
